The Next Word

The Next Word

Students, here me, I must speak
For the lessons I shall share
Will set you on the road to wealth…
Before the next word came her belch.

Ah, quite a humorous scenario and this poem gave me a great laugh. Now, imagine doing this when you are competing in a public speaking contest! It's happened and it didn't seem so funny when it did. We're only human, after all. Love the way you are working with the chastushka form, so new to me but you mastered another one. Great work, my friend! Love, Carolyn
